The story

A study in balance

A calm, grounded form, defined by an interlaced pattern of veneers and metal overlays that gives the piece its quiet character. Each panel flows into the next with subtle shifts in tone, creating a surface that feels considered and refined.

The Koshi Ember finish brings a darker, more atmospheric palette. Black and charcoal-toned veneers are interwoven with warmer panels, and a fine metal overlay catches the light, a balance between shadow and glow that gives the piece its depth.

“Sculptural from a distance, and richly detailed up close.”

Concept sketches of the Koshi bar cabinet

From lattice to cabinet

Named for the Japanese lattice

Koshi takes its name and its pattern from the Japanese lattice. Veneers are cut and interlaced so that each panel flows into the next, with a metal overlay that echoes the geometry of Japanese latticework. Every cabinet is drawn, sampled and modelled in 3D in our studio in Windermere before it is made.
